Hayden Brook
At Hayden Brook Studios, they work with dichroic glass (di-chroic means two colored). This type of glass transmits light in one wavelength, and reflects lights in two other wavelengths. It is coated with electronically excited metallic particles in a vacuum chamber. They start with large sheets of glass which they cut into small piceces. These pieces are specially arranged and melted together in a kiln to form accent pieces for our jewelry. the glass melts at approximately 1800 degrees.
Larie Hayden and her husband Brook Bergey draw their inspiration from experiences living and studying art in California, Nevada, Peace Corps (Africa and Jamaica) as well as traveling in Europe and North America.
